Gayle put on 67 for the opening wicket with Dilshan before the West Indian was bowled by pacer Vinay Kumar. Dilshan had set the pace before Gayle's burst when he took 20 off one over from spinner Ramesh Powar. The team's first 50 came off just 15 balls.

Dilshan, who hit eight fours and a six in his 31-ball knock, put on 61 with Virat Kohli (27) for the unbroken second wicket for their second win over Tuskers this season.

A controlled bowling display by Royal Challengers pegged back Tuskers after the visitors had elected to bat. Medium-pacer Sreenath Aravind and New Zealand spinner Daniel Vettori took two wickets each.
